Chapter 363: Zhang Buyi: I made money
The hectic end of the day as the sun sets.
The officials dragged their tired bodies back to their homes to rest, ready for tomorrow's work.
Zhang Liang also feels very tired, although he has been paddling lately.
"Stay!"
As soon as Zhang Liang got out of the carriage, a person from the side of the house rushed out and saluted Zhang Liang.
The guards beside Zhang Liang hurriedly raised their vigilance.
And Zhang Liang was also probing the visitor, with a strong smell on his body, and some scorching smell, his body was slightly thicker than that of the Han people, and he was unkempt.
If the sky is brighter, Zhang Liang can naturally recognize it at a glance.
But now, Zhang Liang still recognizes the identity of the other party with these.
"I wonder what happened to the envoy of the Yue Clan?" Zhang Liang waved his hand, signaling the guards not to be nervous.
"There's something trivial I want to ask for help from Liuhou!" The envoy of the Yue clan, Yalu, maintained a humble posture.
If you don't keep it, you won't be able to.
The Han Kingdom is simply too strong.
When he first came to Luoyang, Yalu didn't think that the Han State was very strong, and although their capital looked very large, it was also very dilapidated, even inferior to some of the cities they passed by on the way.
But as time went on, and as he got to know more, Yaru realized how ridiculous his idea was.
Luoyang was ruined only because the Han State had not yet begun to build their capital.
Yalu also learned that the Han State intended to expand the capital fivefold, and that action would be made in the near future.
The current Yueshi is the time when they need to rely on the Han Kingdom, and Yalu is also trying his best to persuade the Yueshi King to participate in this matter.
Although the projects that Yueshi people can participate in are very limited, and they don't understand some technical work, they don't know how to use manpower, and people may not use their people.
Moreover, the Yue clan can't take out so many people to be coolies.
Therefore, Yalu decided to persuade the king of the Yue clan to exchange cattle and sheep for grain from the Han Kingdom.
The Han State lacked meat, and the Yueshi lacked food.
Following the principle that other people's families must be the best, coupled with the fact that he has been eating food often and occasionally eating a few meals of meat, Yalu himself has experienced the benefits of this diet for the body, so his persuasion is even harder.
The Yue Clan's side already faintly agreed.
However, with the outbreak of one thing, it was almost time to break his efforts.
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Zhang Liang gestured, vaguely guessing the other party's intention.
"It's not easy to say here...... Yalu hesitated, in front of so many people, how could he say it?
Even if you say it, how can you give gifts?
Could it be that those who don't see it have a share?
"If it is a private matter, the old man will definitely help the envoy if he can solve it, and if it is a business matter, please ask the envoy to enter the palace tomorrow!" Zhang Liang understood and said.
"This ......" Yalu was confused, don't you want the benefits of delivering it to the door?
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow, it's not too early, it's better for your envoy to return to his residence early, otherwise this curfew will start and he will be caught by the forbidden army, and his face will be dull......" Zhang Liang said in a flat tone, and then entered the mansion directly without looking back.
"Hey, Liuhou...... ......"Yalu was a little anxious, but Zhang Liang refused to turn back no matter what.
"What can I do?" The person behind Yalu also said anxiously.
"Let's go check out other homes!" Yalu was also helpless.
Could it be that what you have expressed is not obvious enough?
Gifts can be refused, which seems to him to be an unbelievable thing.
If this is placed on the grassland, the other party would like you to take out all your belongings.
What now?
It's all in front of the door, and I can't even get in the door.
"But it's about to be curfew, and if we are caught by the forbidden army, even if we are a mission, we will be punished......"
"Punishment is punishment, can you find someone during the day?" Yaru was a little angry.
Secretly, these officials of the Han Kingdom are really, all of them are workaholics.
I went out to work early in the morning until the sun set, and at other times I couldn't find anyone except in the unit.
If it could be found during the day, why did Yaru risk being caught by the forbidden army to run errands at night?
"Even the emperor's most trusted person has refused, and others are not easy to say, even if they accept it, whether they can do things or not is still the same thing." Yalu's companion said.
"The Emperor's most trusted person?" Yalu seemed to be reminded by this sentence, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"There it is!"
"Got it?"
"Just come with me!" A smile finally appeared on Yaru's face.
Zhang Liang was selected before, just because Zhang Liang had a high status, followed the Han Emperor for the longest time, and won the trust of the Han Emperor the most.
If he speaks, the probability of success is naturally higher.
But when it comes to the most trusted person of the Han Emperor, it may not be Zhang Liang.
So, after walking about five hundred steps to the east, the two came to another mansion.
There were four big characters written on it, although they couldn't read it.
Xingyang Hou Mansion!
Zhang Buyi, who had just gotten off work, returned to the house, and the family accompanied him to dinner, and then entered the room boredly.
I don't know what is expensive when I am young......
No, Zhang Buyi felt that this sentence didn't seem to be suitable for him.
Those who are strong and can count women in one night, how can they get involved with these?
This is obviously a substandard time management business, so his two wives are pregnant, and he can only stay alone in the empty room.
Then Zhang Buyi, who was bored and depressed just now, received a notification.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so he let Yalu in.
"Huh? Do you want the Han to return the Yue's war horses, cattle and sheep? Anyone else? After listening to Yalu's story, Zhang Buyi frowned.
Of course he knew about this, how could he not know such a big thing, as the most intimate person around the emperor?
"Yes, as long as the Marquis of Xingyang is willing to help mention this matter in front of the emperor, the Yue clan is willing to attach fifty catties of gold." As he spoke, his companion behind Yaru pulled out a pile of gold cakes from his bag.
It's rough, but in terms of fineness, it's gold.
"Fifty pounds? What about sending Hanako? Zhang Buyi glanced at it with disdain, although my old Zhang family didn't have fifty catties of gold, but who am I? Fifty pounds and want to send it away? How much despise people?
"It's just a deposit! Yes, the deposit! Yalu suddenly felt that there was a play, and he had not been in Luoyang for the past few months, and he naturally understood some customs or something, so he immediately changed his words, and then said: "After the matter is completed, the Yue clan is willing to pay another 150 catties of gold, and give Xingyang Hou ten of the best war horses, 1,000 cattle and sheep each!" ”
The corners of Zhang Buyi's mouth rose slightly, and then he pretended to be difficult to think: "What about this...... It's still quite difficult......"
"Yes......" Yaru nodded repeatedly.
"You also know that these trophies were snatched from the Huns by the soldiers on the front line, so strictly speaking, he does not belong to your Yue clan." Zhang Buyi said.
"Yes......" Yaru continued to nod, he was ready to be slaughtered.
After all, millions of cattle and sheep, tens of thousands of war horses, no matter how big the price, he has to grit his teeth and recognize it.
"Although Benhou has won the trust of His Majesty, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about......"
"Don't ...... Marquis Xingyang, if you have something to say, if you can be satisfied, we will definitely promise you, as long as you can help talk about this matter in front of the emperor. Yalu was a little panicked, the Han people are not good at this, they talk too much, and they are not as comfortable as the grassland men who go straight to people.
"That's it, five hundred catties of gold, war horses, cattle and sheep or something, I don't want Benhou!" Zhang Buyi suddenly smiled and said.
"Okay!" Yaru gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Gold doesn't really have much effect on them, at best it's just a bit of a rarity.
However, just when Yalu felt that the matter was done, Zhang Buyi spoke again.
"But Ben Hou should be strict first, when will he see five hundred catties of gold, when will Ben Hou open his mouth to His Majesty about this matter, in addition, these trophies do not belong to your Yue Clan, this is the front-line soldiers in exchange for their lives, Ben Hou can promise you that as long as Ben Hou speaks, His Majesty will definitely give Ben Hou this face, but how much can be given, this is not something that Ben Hou can control, after all, if you give too much, the soldiers will be unhappy......"
"Okay, I'll go raise it." Yalu nodded excitedly, and then said, "That, Marquis Xingyang, it's almost curfew at this time......"
"It's easy to say...... Zhang Buyi directly called a personal soldier and asked him to personally send the two back to the place where they lived.
Other people's personal soldiers can't do it, but Zhang Buyi's personal soldiers will definitely work.
Because he didn't have a pro-soldier at all, the so-called pro-soldier was directly drawn from the palace guards and rotated once a month.
"General, your ......" The intimate henchmen who have been following Zhang Buyi are a little hesitant, if His Majesty knows, Zhang Buyi will be in danger.
However, Zhang Buyi smiled indifferently and said, "I'm afraid of an egg, Your Majesty will only be happy about this matter......
